iStorm Projects

What iStorm Projects does

iStorm Projects is a privately held Belgian IT consultancy and staffing agency headquartered in Watermael-Boitsfort (Brussels), operating as a member of Select Group, an Antwerp-based family-run HR services conglomerate. The company's core business is a two-sided staffing intermediary: it matches IT professionals with client companies across Belgium on a project or temporary basis, and provides talent acquisition services for permanent placements. Its service portfolio spans six expertise domains: Enterprise Architecture, IT Infrastructure, Software Development, Project Management, Cyber Security, and Digital & Analytics. Differentiated offerings include the iStorm Projects Academy (an internal training program with a five-tier Professional Development Model) and Tips & Tricks career resources for consultants.

The company operates from three Belgian offices covering the country's three regions: Zaventem (Brussels/Flanders), Antwerp (Flanders), and Watermael-Boitsfort (Brussels/Wallonia). It holds official recruitment agency licensing across the Brussels, Flemish, and Walloon regions (licenses SPF.WRS.679, 00024-405-20121015, VG. 1883/B). The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on personal outreach by dedicated IT recruiters, the company website (istorm-projects.be), blog content, and direct phone/email engagement with both client companies and prospective consultants.

Revenue is generated through a markup on consultant rates charged to client organisations (professional services model) and through permanent placement fees, both on a quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing basis. With 12 internal employees, iStorm Projects is a small-scale operator whose footprint covers the Belgian IT staffing market exclusively. Customer case studies indicate engagement across Banking, Healthcare/Medical (including a health insurer serving 600,000+ members), HR/Social Services, IT/Internet infrastructure, and Printing sectors. Leadership includes Eric de Prins (Business Director and Academy lead) and Kaïn Agbaba (IT Recruiter).
